Well, it was time to let the Jeep JKU go. 8 years and no warranty. Couldn’t resist another Hyundai … got a Santa Cruz.

Snowmobiling is my other passion. This year was a short snowmobile season with a very early ice out. Last week a freak snowfall created opportunity to snowmobile one more time (see photo). Very unusual to snowmobile next to open water on a inland lake. Next week I will get out the boat. Very unusual.

Expecting a big winner storm the next few days in New England. A last chance to run the sleds before putting them away until next winter. No snow in January but snowmobiling in April. Crazy weather.

We head up north this weekend to wash our sleds and then get them summarized and tucked away in my trailer until next winter. 2023 and 2024 were a bust for sledding. Hoping things turn around more next winter. If not, I at least finally broke down and got my own inclosed trailer so I can chase snow in the UP (Michigan) as time, energy and schedules permit. Ready to fast froward to summer so we can take in some sunshine while on the Bennington.
Might get your last shot if Mother nature hits just south of the Keweenaw Peninsula with up to 24" of snow between today and Thursday

Saw that, and wish I could road trip up for it. Alas, due to family needs downstate centered on my mom, we don’t have flexibility for something like that right now. Just trying to squeeze in some post-winter chores up to the cottage as best we can right now.
That said, that storm will be a fun final blast of “winter” in parts of the UP. Wish we could drop in on it.

Gett’n muddy in the Mitten today.
Hit up Hartwick Pines State park for some light hiking and then some trail riding in the Cherokee. Having some fun, albeit tame, on the dirt roads and 2 tracks in the woods north of our cottage. Although the trails were pretty tame, it was plenty for my wife!

Was going to add some pictures, but the server is having issues with file sizes. Not sure what’s up there atm.

Love the Trailhawk. Had a 2014 version. Was a darn good vehicle. Peppy and pretty trailworthy for sure. Enjoy. Great video!
Thanks for sharing

I was cringing thinking where all the mud is hiding in the nooks and crannies for the next year.
Try going to the sand dunes at Silver Lake in North west Michigan. You'll be blowing sand out of your vents for weeks!!!I was cringing thinking where all the mud is hiding in the nooks and crannies for the next year.

Congrats! Looks like a great roadtrip bike. Got any big trips in mind this summer, or just going to break it in with local cruises?

No just local cruising. I took a couple boating/riding days off for the long weekend. Did 168 miles yesterday and checked in at 5 different dealers.
My son got chosen to to participate in the 80th D-day re-enactment on LST 393 in Muskegon Michigan which is 1 of 2 LST's that are left that were on Omaha Beach for D-Day..
He was asked to portray one of very few US marines that participated in the invasion as the Joint Chiefs of Staff deemed that the ETO would be fought with US Army personnel. Only about 700 US Marines with various divisions were involved. Mitch is part of the King Company 3rd Battalion 2nd Marine division as a BAR Gunner. Can't wait to see the pics of the event.

a few pics and you can hear the BAR "thumping" on the attacking plane as it passes the mast.. Pretty cool the planes flashed their landing lights to simulate them firing on the ship
